A real castle in the Midwest? Santa's Candy Castle (Santa Claus, Indiana's first attraction, dedicated in 1935) was restored and re-opened to the public in 2006. The castle includes a museum, candy shop with the world's largest selection of candy canes, over two dozen flavors of hot chocolate and (of course), Santa Claus himself.
